“Shaun and Jackie were very accommodating for my dog Olives 1st visit. Olive was made to feel at ease and appears to have settled in as part of their family. We felt confident and were provided with updates over her visit. Olive will return to Shaun and Jackie’s on a regular basis and we are confident she is well looked after and safe. If people are looking for a great dog sitter, we would highly recommend Shaun and Jackie.”
“This was our first and definitely not our last experience of booking a sitter. After the initial communication we arranged a visit to ensure Bonnie would feel happy to stay away for the night. The sitters were friendly, attentive and showed a great love for dogs. We would definitely recommend anyone to book and would have no concerns to have Bonnie stay here again. Thank you for taking good care of Bonnie while we went to watch Oasis.”
“This was the first time I had left Hank with anyone and I was probably more nervous than he was, but Millie was amazing with him, constant updates with pictures and videos and it was clear he settles really well which just put me at ease. I cannot recommend highly enough and Millie will be my first point of contact if I have to go away again. Thank you Milloe for all you did for Hank”
“Highly recommended dog sitters. Laurie had our whippet over the weekend and he loved his stay. He was very relaxed and happy when we collected him. We received updates and videos on his walks.”
About: We’ve both grown up with dogs and have experience caring for them from a young age, so we understand the importance of routine, exercise, patience and plenty of attention. We’re comfortable with dogs of different personalities and energy levels and can provide regular walks, playtime, feeding and companionship. What sets us apart is that your dog will have a calm, home-based environment with someone around regularly. I work from home a couple of days a week, while my partner works night shifts, meaning there is usually someone at home. We also have a secure, fenced garden with plenty of space for playtime. We’re happy to follow your dog’s usual routine and reinforce basic training, including commands such as sit, stay and recall, using positive reinforcement. Most importantly, we’ll treat your dog as part of the family and make sure they feel safe, settled and well cared for. I currently work from home a couple of days a week, and my partner works night shifts, so there is always someone at home. We’ve both grown up around dogs and have owned dogs from a young age, so we’re very comfortable caring for them. Morning and evening walks, playtime, and plenty of attention will easily fit into our routine, and we’d love to give your dog a safe, happy and caring home while you’re away. I have a secure, fenced garden with plenty of grass and space for dogs to run around and enjoy some playtime. There are no other pets in the household, so your dog can have our full attention and settle into a calm, comfortable environment.
“It's been the 1st time of ever using this kind of service Dainora has been amazing, I was able to notice that Sasha had an amazing time with them, she never showed any kind of anxiety. I'm definitely be using her services again and will highly recommend it to anyone who needs it”
“Tom had Stanley while we were away in Majorca and it was clear from the pupdates he was enjoying his holiday as well!! Tom was even kind enough to give him a bit of a pamper which he hates at home!!!! I would have no hesitation in booking Tom again and highly recommend him if your fur baby needs looking after while you’re away. Thanks 🤩 🐾”
“Kay and her family looked after our dog overnight and he had the best time! A very lovely family with a super friendly dog, Hera, who really cared for Arnie. We couldn’t recommend them highly enough. Thank you 🤩”
“Mandy agreed to look after our dog with very short notice, we arrange a quick meeting and trusted her straight away. Lovely, warm person who loves animals. Our dog was in very good hands. We got few updates (pics & video) which was much appreciated. Thank you.”
“I can't thank Chloe enough for taking good care of my cat. Chloe was very easy to communicate with, we had to change times and dates due to me moving house too and she really helped and was very flexible. I was constantly updated on how my cat was settling and really nice pictures. Made me happy and I could just relax knowing she was being well care for. Will 100% book again!!”
“Evie was wonderful with my border collie Bear, very friendly, great communication throughout his stay with her and sent photos with updates. We will definitely be using Evie again.”
About: I have a dog of my own and children, so I understand how important it is to find someone caring, reliable and trustworthy to look after your pet. I’m patient, responsible and treat every dog as if they were my own. 🐶❤️ I work from home, so I’m around for most of the day and can give your pet plenty of attention and company. I’m also available at weekends and can be flexible with walks, feeding and playtime to fit your pet’s usual routine. 🐶 I have a secure, fenced garden and a friendly dog of my own, so your dog will have company and a safe space to enjoy.

I’m happy to follow their usual routine and any special instructions. 🐶❤️
“Carla and Jim looked after our dog Mila for us, they are really friendly & professional. They welcomed Mila into their home with their dog Marlow and she couldn’t have settled better. Carla and Jim looked after Mila perfectly, they sent us regular updates and photos of how Mila was getting on, so whilst we were away we knew that Mila was safe and happy. We would highly recommend Carla and Jim, they are caring, kind, thoughtful and really accommodating. We will definitely be using Carla and Jim again as we feel completely happy and safe leaving our dogs with them. Thank you again x”
“Many thanks for the great experience! Ayse is fantastic; Polly was very happy with the care and attention she received. Very friendly sitter and great communication, would highly recommend!”
“I cannot recommend Christina & her family enough. We had another dog sitter cancel last minute at 1AM in the morning and we were due to travel the same day. Christina replied in the early hours of the morning and saved us from cancelling our trip! She has a lovely home and was extremely welcoming. She kept us up to date with pictures throughout the stay and our dog Cleo clearly enjoyed her stay. We will definitely book her again for future stays! :-)”
About: I have always had a strong love for animals, especially dogs, as I grew up surrounded by lots of different pets. Being around animals from a young age has helped me develop a natural understanding of how to care for them, be patient with them, and make sure they feel safe, happy and comfortable. My experience as a dog sitter is something I really enjoy because I love spending time with dogs and getting to know their individual personalities and needs. I understand the importance of giving them plenty of attention, exercise, fresh air and companionship while their owners are away. One of my favourite parts of dog sitting is taking dogs out for walks. I enjoy giving them the opportunity to explore, exercise and have fun, while also benefiting from being outdoors myself. Going for regular walks with a dog helps me stay active and supports my own health and wellbeing, making it something that I find both enjoyable and rewarding. Overall, looking after dogs is something I am passionate about. Growing up with pets, combined with my experience caring for animals, has taught me to be responsible, caring and attentive. I would always treat someone else's dog with the same care and respect that I would give to my own pets. Working from home allows me to provide dogs with the attention, care and companionship they need throughout the day. Because I work remotely, I have the flexibility to take regular breaks to feed them, let them outside, give them attention and take them out for walks. Being at home also means dogs are not left alone for long periods of time, which can help them feel more comfortable and settled. I can easily fit walks and playtime around my working schedule while still making sure my work commitments are met. I really enjoy being around dogs while I work, and I believe my home-based routine is ideal for dog sitting. It allows me to give each dog plenty of care and attention while providing a safe, calm and loving environment for them. Although my garden is on the smaller side, it is fully fenced and provides a safe and secure space for dogs to have regular toilet breaks and get some fresh air throughout the day. I understand that the garden is not intended to replace proper walks and exercise, but it is a convenient and secure space for quick toilet breaks whenever needed. I also live next to a beautiful bank and walking area, which is perfect for giving dogs plenty of exercise and outdoor stimulation. I regularly take my family’s dog there for walks and really enjoy spending time outdoors with him. The area provides a lovely environment for dogs to explore, get some exercise and enjoy their surroundings. Having both a secure garden and such a beautiful walking area nearby means I can provide dogs with regular toilet breaks, exercise and plenty of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors.
About: I grew up with dogs, so I understand the love, care and responsibility they need. I'd love to welcome your dog into our family and make sure they feel safe, happy and well cared for while you’re away. 🐶❤️ I work from home with flexible hours, so I can take breaks throughout the day to give your dog plenty of attention, walks and company. I’m available for boarding at any time of the day and can fit their routine around my schedule. 🐾❤️ I take your dog’s safety and wellbeing very seriously. I have a large, fully fenced garden where they can enjoy plenty of secure outdoor time, and I always follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, routines and any specific needs. I am surrounded by plenty of green spaces and safe walking areas, giving dogs the opportunity to enjoy regular walks and exercise. I provide a calm, secure and loving home where your dog can feel safe, comfortable and well cared for.
“Our cockapoo had a great stay with Irina. He was well looked after in a home from home environment. Communication before the stay was really helpful in making arrangements. Irina sent photos of Sandy during his stay and messages so we knew everything was okay. Would definitely recommend and use again. Thank you Irina!”
About: We have always had a dog as a family pet, from a puppy to a senior dog, Currently we have Daisy who is a 13 year old English Springer Spaniel. We have been the go to ones for both our family and friends whenever their dogs have needed looking after, overnight stays, walking etc. I hold a dog walking certificate.

We have a large fully enclosed garden for lots of play, which your dog will have the run of , and as we have Daisy there will be always someone to play with.

“Angie was absolutely amazing with our cat Chandler. From the very first visit, it was clear she genuinely cares and takes her responsibility seriously. She kept us updated during every drop-in with messages and photos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Chandler was clearly comfortable and well looked after, and we couldn’t have asked for better care. We would 100% book Angie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and thoughtful sitter.”

I can also drive and have a car so happy to travel wherever!
“Nikki is amazing, Kat had a great time when we were away and I can see how happy she is. We enjoyed our time out as well knowing that both Kat and Nikki was getting along very nicely.”
“We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter! We had to find someone at the last minute while we were abroad, and she was absolutely amazing. She took such great care of our cats, kept us updated, and gave us complete peace of mind. We could even see on our camera how comfortable and happy our cats were around her – they clearly loved her! We are so grateful for all her help and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pets.”

“Jess C. Was an excellent sitter for Clyde. A very nice and pleasant young lady. She sent us regular reports and photographs. She left the house and a very clean and tidy state. I would not hesitate to book Jess C. In the future. And I can highly recommend her to any one else who wants a pet sitter in the future. Thank you Jess C. ?”
“First time we have used the Rover app for looking after our two cats and couldn’t recommend Oscar enough. Loved getting photos while we were away. I think Theo was gutted when we got home!”

About: Even though my expertise are in dogs, I have had experience in caring for a couple cats during my 4 years of dog care. I realise each cat is different so am happy to learn about your animals needs and give them all the attention or space that they need. I have in the past house sat and cat sat for families for weeks at a time with no problems! I am currently studying a degree in bioveterinary sciences so my true passion is to make sure your animal is always safe and cared for.
“Irina was very helpful and cooperative and took good care of our furry boys while we were away. She was responsive to messages and easy to communicate with, and everything was handled as arranged. We appreciate her support and thank her for looking after them.”
“Joana was such a great house sitter for my cat Freya. She kept me up to date with pictures whilst I was away and took really great care of her. Felt very comfortable leaving her in Joana’s care and would definitely book again the next time I go away”
About: I am currently looking after a dog for a friend on a weekly basis, often going to the park, looking after him overnight, and sometimes day trips. I have raised my family dog since he was a puppy, so am fully aware of what that entails. When I go back home, I walk and take care of him. I live with my boyfriend who has had cats in the past, so I am used to having them in the house and how to take care of them. With this, I have lots of experience of walking, feeding, bathing, and keeping pets happy! I'm currently working from home full-time, so can look after pets at any time! My hours are also very flexible so I'm able to go for walks during my working day. I live in a flat, with a secure back garden that is fenced in. The front door to the flat block is always kept locked. I am happy to do whatever is needed to keep your pet safe and happy!
About: Having had family pets my entire life, I understand just how much our furry friends become our best friends. I grew up with a very excitable dog (her name was Georgi) and a grumpy cat (her name was trainers), and I’ve been in love with anything with 4 legs ever since. I’ve dog sat, walked, fed, bathed, cleaned litter trays, scooped poop, you name it - and I’ve loved every second of it. I promise to smother your best friend in all the love they need while you’re away. I work from home with a fairly flexible schedule, so I can be on hand whenever needed. All I need is my laptop, which means I can also work from someone else’s home! I live in a house with a private garden so your dog has outside space to enjoy whenever they need it, as well as access to large parks nearby for longer walks.

“Evie was a huge help in providing fairly last minute daycare for our puppy and were really understanding when we ran late for pick ups. I always worry about leaving our puppy with anyone as they can be hard work to look after, but Evie and her partner were great with him and we received regular updates on how he was getting on. He was happy every time he came home and we would not hesitate to contact Evie again whenever we are in need of puppy care!”

I now offer drop-in visits and dog walking, providing reliable, calm and attentive care for pets in their own home or on their regular walks. I have experience with rescue dogs, young puppies, and more nervous or reactive animals, and I always adapt my approach to suit each pet’s needs. I’m trusted by friends, family, and clients to feed, walk, check in, and spend quality time with their pets, making sure they feel safe, settled, and well cared for while their owners are away. I understand how important consistency is for both cats and dogs, so I aim to keep timings regular to help them feel settled and comfortable while you’re away. When caring for pets in your home, I take a calm, respectful, and reliable approach to make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I carefully follow all instructions, including feeding, walking, medication if needed, and maintaining routines. I have experience with both confident and more nervous or reactive animals, and I always adapt my approach to suit each pet. I ensure your home is left secure after every visit, giving you peace of mind while you’re away.
About: Having grown up surrounded by dogs, cats and horses, I understand that they’re more than just pets; they’re cherished members of the family and bring so much joy and happiness. I understand the importance of quality care, compassion and providing a home-from-home experience for your dog. From Dalmatians to dachshunds, every dog is treated with love, kindness and care. I currently have a gorgeous red fox Labrador X vizsla called ‘Hera’, she’s incredibly friendly and loves nothing more than having a playmate for all of our adventures! I’m active and love nothing more than being outside exploring, and I’m fortunate enough to work from home, with a very flexible schedule (allowing for lots of walks and ‘garden zoomies!’ Your dogs comfort, routine and happiness is my top priority and I’m dedicated to accommodating their every requirement. I can’t wait to meet your lovely dogs x I’m fortunate enough to work remotely, from home and with a very flexible schedule, allowing for lots of adventures and garden zoomies! My dog, Hera, typically has 3 walks per day come rain or shine! I have a large, secure garden and live in a rural setting, with immediate access to countryside walks. If I’m walking a dog from your home, I’ll always research the local area to find the best walks and love nothing more than discovering new paths with a four-legged fur baby for company!
“Thank you so much for looking after Tashi and Ruby so well. It meant we could go and enjoy my daughter’s wedding without any worries about them. Look forward to seeing you again in a couple of months”
About: I’ve struggled myself to find the right home to look after my precious boys. I offer a home from home setting where your dog(s) will receive lots of cuddles and lots of playtime. We have two male cockapoos, one of which is of senior age. We have previously had Great Danes (gorgeous breed) and have grown up round a variety of breeds. We have two children age 10 and 13 who have grown up around animals and absolutely love dogs and if your dog wants to run around with smaller humans they’re all for it. I work from home part time so I’m available for cuddles on the sofa and they can play freely with open access to the enclosed garden. We will accommodate so that everything is familiar to what they are used to for example sleeping in the kitchen, sleeping in a bedroom, being on furniture and so forth. We have a Vets locally who our dogs are registered with and plenty of green areas for dogs to have good walks. Any questions please feel free to ask. I know they are your babies and we will take great care of them. I work from home part time and I’m kept company by my two cockerpoos; one who is old and quite happily chills and the other who is seven and can always be encouraged to play. We have a secure enclosed garden where they will have access to play freely. We have lots of walks and greenery close by so they don’t have to do the same route all the time and can adapt the walks we take to your dogs needs.
“Exceptional. Samba is a rescue and has a few little quirks. Charlotte was very understanding and happily went at Samba’s pace. Spent their time together cuddling which is Samba’s favourite thing to do. I would happily use Charlotte again and recommend her care. Thank you again.”

“Penelope had a fantastic stay at Lynn’s after I had to drop into London for work. The house and garden were fantastic spaces with plenty of room for play and quiet time. Lynn was great at communicating and it was evident how she absolutely loves animals from how comfortable Penelope made herself!”
“Many thanks Tom and your lovely family, for taking good care of Daisy yesterday. Our labradoodle is 11 now and it’s the 1st occasion we have left her with Tom. He sent through some lovely photos of Daisy with the children, which was very reassuring and gave us the confidence to know that she had settled in and will be fine when we leave her again. Hopefully next time the weather will be less soggy for your walks !”
About: I grew up with lots of animals like a tiny farm and since going to university, I have missed it :( I always go to my family house where there is 5 cats, 2 goldens and 10 chickens and 1 rabbit. May sound like a lot but there is never a moment of boredom. I work in Boston, 8:30-17:00 Monday to Friday. Please take that into consideration when booking me as it doesn’t not let me edit my work schedule into the app. Anytime after 17:30, if you want your dog walking I would be happy too. I really enjoy going on walks with dogs. I have a fenced garden and love going on walks. Dogs and cats are allowed on furniture so they have many places to venture and relax :)
“Wonderfully looked after our dachshund Wolfie came back Happy and relaxed. Sophie and Charlotte were kind and knowledgeable nothing too much trouble. They are excellent dog sitters and we couldn't have asked for better. Thank you”

About: I have owned and looked after dogs for the past 25 years. I have a first class honours degree in psychology where animal behaviour was in each semester. I have a pet first aid and CPR NVQ certificate and I am fully insured. My home is very spacious and I am home all day everyday. SHDC licence - AWL00122 I work very flexibly from home. Thus, I can be there with your dog 24/7 if needed. I love walking my dog on nearby fields (I keep on a leash but have a loose 10m lead). Snuggles on the sofa in the evening and on hot summer days, the doggy pool and hose pipe come out for play time (or your pet can chill inside). I will treat your pet as my own. I have always been a god lover. We have 3 toy baskets and lots of places for quiet time if needed.
About: I’ve had experience with a variety of dogs throughout childhood, but have raised labradors from puppies in my adult life. Whilst having the opportunity to be at home through the week, the biggest thing I can offer you is my time and dedication; I love all breeds and no requirement is too small. Please feel free to get in touch, even if just for a chat! My long term plans involve completing my studies to become a mental health practitioner, so I have a lot of home availability and wanted to fill my time with something that I’m really passionate about. I have a fenced garden, security cameras and a friendly Labrador to keep your dog company and entertained! I’m always attentive to making sure Toby is fed, has access to water bowls, and acknowledging communication and signals for their biological needs and play schedules! Very happy to do a meet and greet to see how you, and perhaps most importantly, your dog feels in our environment!
About: Myself and my husband are experienced dog owners, and have been around dogs our whole lives. We are happy to consider any dog breed and can handle large or small dogs. We had an Alaskan Malamute weighing 48kgs in her prime, sadly we lost her in August at 14 years old, so no trouble handling big and stubborn breeds! We do have a 14 year old cockerpoo called Alfie who is very tolerant and misses his companion - therefore dogs coming to us must be okay with other dogs. He is neutered. We have a loving family home with husband and wife team and grown up children who are always happy to play with dogs walk, entertain, exercise etc (children are 16, 19, 22 and are dog lovers like us!) We have a large enclosed garden for dogs to roam around in and are a cat free home. Boarding and doggy day care welcome, we often go to the seaside too, so if you pooch likes the beach they'd be welcome to come with us if they can travel in the car okay. Happy to answer any questions, or set up a meet and greet with your furbaby. I work part time 3 days a week and my husband works from home full time, so there is always someone around to keep you dog company and give them the love and care they need. Evenings and weekends we have 3 grown up children that are dog lovers like us, and are more than happy to help keep your dog entertained (children are 22, 19, 16 so not little kids). We have a large secure fenced garden for dogs to roam around in as they please. There is always someone at home. We have a 14 year old cockerpoo who misses his companion who we lost this year. He is a gentlemen. Happy to crate if needed, though we do not have a crate at the moment so this will need to be provided.

I currently work from home a couple of days a week, and my partner works night shifts, so there is always someone at home. We’ve both grown up around dogs and have owned dogs from a young age, so we’re very comfortable caring for them. Morning and evening walks, playtime, and plenty of attention will easily fit into our routine, and we’d love to give your dog a safe, happy and caring home while you’re away. I have a secure, fenced garden with plenty of grass and space for dogs to run around and enjoy some playtime. There are no other pets in the household, so your dog can have our full attention and settle into a calm, comfortable environment.
“Angie is EXCELLENT! From initial contact communication was great, we needed someone to walk our dog for initially 4 days then extended it 8 which she accommodated for us. The initial meet & greet went brilliant, our dog Iggi can be reticent with people she doesn’t know but immediately warmed to Angie. She excitedly greeted her when going on a walk and Angie always sent a little report with each walk and a couple of photos. Iggi came back from each walk sated and happy. We cannot praise Angie highly enough and will use her in future when we are in the area visiting family & friends”
About: I’ve cared for dogs most of my life having grew up around multiple dog breeds both male and female! My partner and I are the biggest dog lovers, with our own little girl and committed to providing the best care possible. I currently work from home 1-2 days a week and am available weekends and evenings to care for your pups! Work from home days are flexible depending on your needs I have a large fenced garden for roaming and fun and 1 super friendly golden girl (see profile pic) who wants to make friends with all. Given this we are fully equipped to care for ur dogs in our home or I have a licence and can travel as needed.
About: I have always had a strong love for animals, especially dogs, as I grew up surrounded by lots of different pets. Being around animals from a young age has helped me develop a natural understanding of how to care for them, be patient with them, and make sure they feel safe, happy and comfortable. My experience as a dog sitter is something I really enjoy because I love spending time with dogs and getting to know their individual personalities and needs. I understand the importance of giving them plenty of attention, exercise, fresh air and companionship while their owners are away. One of my favourite parts of dog sitting is taking dogs out for walks. I enjoy giving them the opportunity to explore, exercise and have fun, while also benefiting from being outdoors myself. Going for regular walks with a dog helps me stay active and supports my own health and wellbeing, making it something that I find both enjoyable and rewarding. Overall, looking after dogs is something I am passionate about. Growing up with pets, combined with my experience caring for animals, has taught me to be responsible, caring and attentive. I would always treat someone else's dog with the same care and respect that I would give to my own pets. Working from home allows me to provide dogs with the attention, care and companionship they need throughout the day. Because I work remotely, I have the flexibility to take regular breaks to feed them, let them outside, give them attention and take them out for walks. Being at home also means dogs are not left alone for long periods of time, which can help them feel more comfortable and settled. I can easily fit walks and playtime around my working schedule while still making sure my work commitments are met. I really enjoy being around dogs while I work, and I believe my home-based routine is ideal for dog sitting. It allows me to give each dog plenty of care and attention while providing a safe, calm and loving environment for them. Although my garden is on the smaller side, it is fully fenced and provides a safe and secure space for dogs to have regular toilet breaks and get some fresh air throughout the day. I understand that the garden is not intended to replace proper walks and exercise, but it is a convenient and secure space for quick toilet breaks whenever needed. I also live next to a beautiful bank and walking area, which is perfect for giving dogs plenty of exercise and outdoor stimulation. I regularly take my family’s dog there for walks and really enjoy spending time outdoors with him. The area provides a lovely environment for dogs to explore, get some exercise and enjoy their surroundings. Having both a secure garden and such a beautiful walking area nearby means I can provide dogs with regular toilet breaks, exercise and plenty of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors.
About: With a lifetime of experience caring for all manner of animals, I provide home-from-home care tailored to each pet's unique needs. I’m skilled in administering medication and always treat any pets in my care as if they were my own. I will always follow your pets’ routines in your absence, in order help them feel safe and secure. I’m accustomed to caring for animals of all ages; from the very young to the more senior, I love them all and their gorgeous unique personalities.

I have many returning clients and go above and beyond to ensure both your pets and you are completely satisfied with all the services I provide. I have received many five star wonderful reviews from pet owners over the years. One of my greatest pleasures is walking in nature with the dogs in my care; whether it’s a woodland adventure or a splash by the water, I offer diverse walks for your fur babies to enjoy, that include opportunities for socialisation with other dogs and humans. I am home full time as I have an online tutoring business working with students around the world. This enables me to be very focused on the animals in my care throughout the day as my lessons are spread out across the working week. My home is ideally set up to care for your fur babies. I have a large enclosed garden perfect for your fur babies to run around in; they have full access to the garden as they desire as my back door is rarely closed. I have crates, should your pet need crating or you may of course provide your own. I adhere strictly to any special requirements you have regarding the care of your pet. I also have my own private walking field where all dogs are safe to run freely.
About: I have always loved caring for dogs since I was a child. At 13 years old I was able to sit for my neighbours dogs. They had 3 spaniels, and since then I have continued to look after and walk my friends and families dogs. I also have a lovely dog of my own called Daisy who I love walking and spoiling. So I understand how important our pets are to us. Please feel free to message me if you have any questions. Hi at the moment I am working on a week on, week off schedule. So I have plenty of time to care and support your doggy for walks 🤍 I have fencing around my house and I live in the country side so plenty of land for your dog/ dogs to run around in. 🥰
“Today Oscar visited us again, my dogs recognised him immediately and were very happy of seeing him again. This time after walking my 2 boxers together he also helped me to teach them how to use a special stair for the car boot which I have recently purchased. I can tell that the whole experience was very positive. I learn a lot from Oscar every time on how to interact with my dogs, how to create an easy going environment for the future. Visibly he has a wealth of knowledge on training dogs and control them with kindness, calmness and good energy.”

About: From a young age I have been asked to care for animals in families I’ve known, in the past couple of years I have developed that into housesitting, looking after animals from horses to dogs and I am happy to adapt to any task at hand.

“Justin was excellent with Vinny. Vinny really took to him on their meet and greet. This is a great app with photos and updates of the walks. I wouldn't hesitate to use Justin again.”
About: I grew up with lots of animals like a tiny farm and since going to university, I have missed it :( I always go to my family house where there is 5 cats, 2 goldens and 10 chickens and 1 rabbit. May sound like a lot but there is never a moment of boredom. I work in Boston, 8:30-17:00 Monday to Friday. Please take that into consideration when booking me as it doesn’t not let me edit my work schedule into the app. Anytime after 17:30, if you want your dog walking I would be happy too. I really enjoy going on walks with dogs. I have a fenced garden and love going on walks. Dogs and cats are allowed on furniture so they have many places to venture and relax :)
About: I'M BACK! After taking 6 months off to breed and train my next generation of Rhodesian Ridgebacks, I am happy to say that I am available again! I own two dogs, one cat and two horses, some of whom you can see on my profile! I would definitely say that I am an animal person haha! Over the years, I have learnt dog training skills such as how to remedy a dog who pulls on the lead or jumps up. I am experienced in administering medication for both dogs and cats and can even bathe them for you if needed! I am more than happy to do drop-ins for cats to feed and top up their water when needed if you don’t need me to stay over night! If you have any other small pets, I'm more than happy and experienced in looking after them for you whilst you're away (I grew up with mice, rabbits and Giant African Snails)! If you have horses, there is no need to put them into livery either, as I can look after them too when you go away! A bit about myself: I work from home which fits in great with dog sitting, as all I have to do is remember to bring my laptop with me! Don't worry, your pets will get plenty of exercise, socialisation and of course lots of love and care with me! Working from home means I am able to be around your pets all day, as long as I remember to bring my laptop with me! Our home has a fully secure terraced garden with 6ft+ old stone walls, so there is no escaping! We have many wonderful walks on our doorstep and our house location is quiet and safe. We take the dogs on secure, off-road country walks, and especially enjoy going for walks in the woods!

About: I’ve had dogs since I was in primary school and currently own 1 gorgeous border collies after 2 sadly passed away. I’ve had two of my dogs from pups, with Ted now being 9. Bear sadly passed away last year at the age of 15. We also had a Dale, a rescue border collie who came to me badly neglected and abused. I nursed him back to health and gave him a little over a year of knowing a loving home until he sadly passed away after suffering a bleed on the brain. I regularly pup sit for friends and families dogs. I currently work from home and can be available during the day or evening for walkies, drop in visits and stays.

“Ana met our Jack Russell/Staffy cross, Brian, this week for the first time and then took him out for a couple of walks. It was obvious immediately that she's comfortable around dogs and we were confident that he was in good hands as it takes Brian time to trust new people. Ana worked with this and came up with helpful suggestions for walk no 2 that proved successful. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Ana to others and we hope to book her again soon : )”
About: Have had cats growing up and was absolutely obsessed with them. I have looked after a few of my friends dogs and work in a dog friendly pub, seemingly becoming just obsessed with dogs! I always seem to remember the dogs but not the humans, whoops! I’m currently changing my career to have a life I love. Cats and cute dogs have to be involved! I work as a Pilates instructor and seem to be free during the day- a time when doggos or kitty kats need that little bit of attention and love. I live in a terrace house with a garden. The front of my house looks onto a big green, which tends to be the neighbours dog walking spot! I can’t wait to join them!

“Shaun and Jackie were very accommodating for my dog Olives 1st visit. Olive was made to feel at ease and appears to have settled in as part of their family. We felt confident and were provided with updates over her visit. Olive will return to Shaun and Jackie’s on a regular basis and we are confident she is well looked after and safe. If people are looking for a great dog sitter, we would highly recommend Shaun and Jackie.”

“Kay and her family looked after our dog overnight and he had the best time! A very lovely family with a super friendly dog, Hera, who really cared for Arnie. We couldn’t recommend them highly enough. Thank you 🤩”
“Mandy agreed to look after our dog with very short notice, we arrange a quick meeting and trusted her straight away. Lovely, warm person who loves animals. Our dog was in very good hands. We got few updates (pics & video) which was much appreciated. Thank you.”
“Many thanks for the great experience! Ayse is fantastic; Polly was very happy with the care and attention she received. Very friendly sitter and great communication, would highly recommend!”
“Our cockapoo had a great stay with Irina. He was well looked after in a home from home environment. Communication before the stay was really helpful in making arrangements. Irina sent photos of Sandy during his stay and messages so we knew everything was okay. Would definitely recommend and use again. Thank you Irina!”
“Bradley is a fantastic dog sitter. When contacting Bradley he was very quick to respond to the boarding request. I wanted to meet before my dog went to stay and Bradley was very accommodating with this. Unfortunately due to illness I had to cancel and rearrange without any problems and Bradley was very flexible to fit in with me. Meeting Bradley and the lovely Lincoln reassured me that I had chosen a great dog sitter. When Maple was staying with Bradley, he communicated regularly and I loved it that Maple was taken out for one of the days and had so much fun. The videos and photos were lovely and I could see that Maple was settled and clearly had made a new friend being Lincoln. Bradley loves dogs and Maple had such fun she was exhausted when we picked her up. Bradley looked after Maple like she was at her own home. I will definitely book in with Bradley again and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending him to others.”
“Another successful stay … our pack of greyhounds are welcomed into their home and thoroughly spoilt with attention, walks and liver cake. I suspect it’s like visiting your favourite aunt and uncle :-)”
“Thank you Eszter, Craig and beautiful Ivy for looking after Bertie with such kindness. Highly recommended, Bertie is so settled when he is staying with you. Thank you so very much xx”

Thank you so much, Maddy, for taking such wonderful care of Money”
“Milena was absolutely wonderful with my kitten! ❤️ I left him with her for 3 weeks and she took such great care of him. She kept me updated every single day with lovely photos and videos of what they had been getting up to, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. From the photos and videos he looks so happy, healthy and very well cared for, and he’s growing so well. You can really tell how much love and attention she gave him. 🥰 I would definitely recommend Milena to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pets. Thank you so much, Milena! ❤️”

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience caring for dogs with different needs and personalities. I've confidently looked after multiple dogs at the same time and have experience providing longer-term care, including looking after dogs for three weeks while their owners were away in Canada. I understand how important it is for dogs to feel safe, comfortable, and loved when their family is away.I enjoy keeping dogs active and engaged, tailoring their care to suit their breed, age, and energy levels. For dogs that enjoy adventure, I love taking them on longer walks and exploring new places, giving them plenty of exercise, stimulation, and fun. I treat every dog as if they were my own, ensuring they receive lots of attention, affection, and the highest standard of care. I work from home 4-5 days a week and then don’t work weekends. I can look after dogs whilst working, after work, before work and at the weekends. I do this with my own dog. By feeding them, playing with them, checking in on them, rubbing their bellies and stroking/cuddling them. Creating a safe and cosy place for them to feel comfy and at home.
